Twelve articles originally published by the author and his colleagues between 1960 and 1996 show the evolution not only in LeVine's thinking but in the field as a whole. These articles are supplemented by new commentaries written for this volume. LeVine examines intersections among patterns of childhood experience, cultural values and institutional change in developing societies during the 20th century. Individual chapters include a focus on Kenya, Nigeria and Mexico; parenting, the child's acquisition of culture, and the impact of mass schooling on maternal care; and critiques of psychoanalysis, environmentalism and the psychology of individual differences. In the introduction, LeVine frames his research on the comparative study of socialization as an anthropology of educational processes" that integrates knowledge on the educational aspects of childhood in human societies under varied historical conditions. This far-reaching book will be widely welcomed by scholars of comparative education and of child development.

Civicus Global Survey of the State of Civil Society

No review available on this record. Title : Civicus Global Survey of the State of Civil Society : Country Profiles: V.1 Material Type: printed text Authors: V. Finn Heinrich, Editor Publisher: Bloomfield, CT : Kumarian Press Publication Date: 2007 Pagination: xxi, 454 p. Size: 25 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-1-565-49235-6 General note: Includes bibliographical references Includes anex (p.453-454) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Civil society Cross-cultural studies Class number: 300.22 Abstract: After the 1990s, civil society, in all its many forms, was no longer seen as the flawless solution to the world's problems as it once was. Calls for accountability, a lack of agreement among scholars as to the exact definition of "Civil Society" and growing attention to civil actors as alternatives to governments, made the time ripe for self-analysis. The CIVICUS Civil Society Index (CSI) project is the result of rigorous self-examination by civil society actors around the world. How is something as vast and contested as civil society, measured? The hundreds of members and partners of CIVICUS that contribute to the CSI have focused not only on measurable, short-term indicators, but also on long-term and more complex processes that are often neglected in evaluations of civil society. Concise profiles of 44 countries make up this, the first of two volumes (the second to be released later in 2007). It looks at factors such as civic engagement, democracy, corruption, social capital, gender equity and civil society's role in policy, and the overall health of each country's civil society. In most chapters, assessments are followed by policy recommendations. The result is arguably the most encompassing picture of civil society ever produced.
